When they were seated in a quiet corner of the upscale restaurant, Ava waited until their server had left the table before scooting her chair closer to Mac’s She had no intention of sitting so far away from him for the next hour He raised an eyebrow at her but didn’t comment on her movement Mac ordered a bottle of wine, and they both decided on seafood as their lass when she h, only inches froly before she quickly reached out to steady it Leaning over, she whispered, "You better be careful You wouldn’t want to stain the tablecloth"
